Review Detail

We Remember Your Baptism takes you through a family and their child’s baptism as they recount the story. Throughout this book there is moments of sharing the beginning when God moved the waters, and how water played a role within communities. The book speaks on how water provides us with a reminder of God’s everlasting love, and how baptism connects us with God.

What I Liked: While this book is recommended for children ages 4 and up, the language used is for older children as it might not hold a young child’s attention. A younger audience might not need as much detail and might get lost in the details instead of understanding what baptism is about.

The illustrations throughout this book do a great job of relaying the story and highlighting the joy that God brings into one’s life. The illustrations highlight the different forms that baptism takes in various families, ages, and parts of the world yet how it serves the same purpose regardless of the form it takes.

The book closes with a note for caregivers about baptism and how to celebrate each year along with a place for you to write a letter to your child including a baptism blessing you have for them. The book provides a lot of information for individuals who are new to the religion and want to know more or who want to share with their children.

Final Verdict: We Remember Your Baptism is a thorough look into a child’s baptism and what it means to be baptized and welcomed by God. This book is good for individuals who are looking for books to share with their children that have religious teachings. Children ages 6 and up will enjoy learning about baptisms and specifically hearing about their own as this book easily lends itself to that conversation.
